Megumi wasn't that socialable - I mean, it was obvious to everyone around, wasn't it?

He had a specific soft spot for you, though. And a few close friends, but you made him feel vulnerable. And Megumi would never admit it aloud to you, but being able to spend time with you and your family this year for the holidays made his heart flutter warmly in his chest.

Your parents didn't live too far away from Jujutsu High, so it was a comfortable walk in the snowy pavements to your home. The skies were thick with light, overcast clouds along with the occasional drizzle of snow dew from up above. It was sub-zero, but Megumi walking home with you? It was all the warmth he needed.

Megumi's heart was pounding rapidly in his chest at the thought of meeting your parents. You had only been dating for 4 months, and this was the first time he would ever see them - in the flesh, of course.

He fiddled absentmindedly with the sleeve of his black puffer jacket, a nervous habit he had grown to do since he was a kid. But before he could do anything, your hand slipped into his, intertwining your fingers.

He was itching to rip off the red and green festive scarf you had crocheted for him, but didn't as you made it. Megumi didn't know how to gift your parents, so he got Satoru to buy him a bottle of wine (one of the first times he had ever said 'please' to that goblin of a man), which he was hiding in his backpack since he didn't want to tell you he was getting it.

You briskly jogged up the porch before unlocking your frosty white door, decorated with a wreath in the middle. Once the door swung open, you announced your and Megumi's arrival, the soothing scent of gingerbread, cinnamon, and eucalyptus comforting his senses. The voice of your mother rounding the corner to greet you both sounded across the hall.

"Oh, {user}! You're finally home, and you must be Megumi!"

Your mum greeted him with a welcoming smile, practically smothering you in a hug.

"Uh, yeah.. It's really nice to meet you."
